On April 14, 2024, the 89th China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) successfully concluded at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center. This prominent event, which gathered global medical device industry leaders, witnessed Forethought Medical earning widespread acclaim for its innovative designs and groundbreaking products.
Located in Hall 2.1, Booth D13, Forethought Medical showcased cutting-edge technologies, drawing attention with its sleek and tech-driven booth design. The presentation of high-end medical equipment highlighted the company’s commitment to innovation and quality.
Industry-Leading Technologies Unveiled
Among the standout innovations were Forethought Medical’s radiation-free 3D spinal measuring instrument, the Spine Whale intelligent spinal monitor, 3D-printed customized braces, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) intelligent rehabilitation devices. These products, designed with both clinical and home use in mind, attracted considerable attention from both domestic and international industry professionals. The radiation-free 3D electronic spine measuring instrument, in particular, addresses a significant gap in the scoliosis screening market. This instrument can measure the spinal Cobb angle, thoracolumbar curvature, and vertebral body axial rotation angle in a standing position while wearing a singlet. It offers a practical solution for large-scale spinal health checkups and screenings, especially for students, breaking barriers related to venue, technology, and personnel limitations.
Forethought Medical’s “independent research and development, technological innovation, and first-in-China” philosophy continues to push boundaries. The comprehensive range of diagnostic and treatment solutions showcased at CMEF not only demonstrated the company’s advanced product concepts but also captivated a global audience, attracting significant interest and sparking in-depth discussions.

Hands-On Experience and Expert Engagement
At the event, Forethought Medical’s staff engaged with participants, sharing insights into their latest technologies, products, and solutions. Attendees had the opportunity to experience these innovations firsthand, with detailed test reports provided on-site. This interactive approach showcased the company’s strengths in scoliosis rehabilitation and garnered high praise from industry experts.
Forethought Medical’s Sampling Health TCM Smart Mirror represents a transformative approach to traditional Chinese medicine. This intelligent device digitizes traditional diagnostic methods, offering AI-powered facial and tongue diagnosis capabilities. By establishing digital health state models, this product paves the way for a new era of digital diagnosis. The comprehensive AI TCM solution presented at CMEF was a focal point, demonstrating the company’s progress in the digitalization of TCM and drawing significant attention.
Strategic Partnerships and Future Directions
Forethought Medical’s presence at CMEF marked the debut of its subsidiary, Sampling Health. This innovative venture focuses on developing medical and health service products for the insurance industry, including health risk assessments, personalized health management plans, and consultation services. Notably, Sampling Health introduced a “Children’s Spine Health and Growth Management Platform,” catering to the diverse needs of insurance companies and setting a new benchmark in the healthcare market.
A highlight of the event was the signing ceremony of a strategic partnership between Forethought Medical and China Resources (Beijing) Medical Devices Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd.
